Question

I spent 1/2 my weekly allowance on food and gave 1/3 of the remainder to my friend. I now have $8.00. What is my weekly allowance?

Answer 1

Answer: $48.00

Explanation:

I believe this because to do this you must get like denominators. Then you have 3/6 on food and 2/6 on friend. You add those to get 5/6. $8.00 is 1/6 of the weekly allowance. 8 x 6 is 48 and 48 divided by 6 is 8.
